Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Part II

After criticism that the last list was too much on the Testosterone side of life, I've been giving some thought to the ten women I would invite to dinner. Quite a challenge in itself.

1. Edith Cavell. Heroine of the First World War. "I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone."
2. Marilyn Monroe. What did go on with the Kennedy Brothers?
3. Constance Markiewicz. First Woman elected to the UK Parliament. What was it like during the Easter Rising?
4. Joan of Arc. St Joan
   
5. Stevie Smith. One of Hull's lesser known daughters. Great Poet.
6. Soong May-ling. Otherwise known as Madame Chiang Kai-shek.
7. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. 'nuff said
8. Dolores Ibárruri Gómez. Otherwise known as La Pasionaria. "No Pasaran!"
9. Helen Suzman. Anti-Apartheid Campaigner.
10. Joni Mitchell. For the music - especially Big Yellow Taxi

So there you go. 10 women for dinner. I think I may need a translator ;)
